Emerl - Mario Copy

Sorry that I my Mario sprites look like garbage; I think it's clear who I've sprited more

The animation is based on a theoretical moveset I thought up for Emerl as a Super Smash Brothers character(I'm still going to push for Knuckles to be smash DLC; but that's only because people outside of the Sonic fanbase actually recognize Knuckles). I made kind of a weird choice for the throw animation (partially inspired by Shadow and partially inspired by Mewtwo), and I'm not really sure what I think of it.

I feel that Emerl would work like Kirby, in the sense that he copies character abilities; but he'd do this through grabbing an opponent rather than vacuuming them. I feel like Emerl, besides the copy ability, would either play like Sonic or have a mish-mash of character moves (which would be something really interesting).
